Disney California Adventure is getting a major makeover, with wooden walls obscuring large chunks of the former Paradise Pier. That entire area has been renamed “Pixar Pier,” after the movie studio that launched some of Disney’s most recent animated successes, such as “Coco,” “The Incredibles” and more. The park already has existing attractions based on Pixar movies, including Cars Land, Toy Story Mania! and the Monsters Inc. ride.

While the area was originally designed to remind visitors of a 1910 California pleasure pier, Disney is now adding new themes to match popular Pixar movies. The new pier is slated to open June 23, with a preview festival starting on April 13 and running all summer. We got a special preview recently at Walt Disney Imagineering in Glendale, and later a walk-through at the park.

1. Adorable Snowman: The former Paradise Pier Ice Cream Company, which sold frozen treats when you walked into the pier area, is being turned into Adorable Snowman Frosted Treats, that will still sell frozen items, particularly lemon frozen non-dairy treats.

2. Incredibles Neighborhood: Instead of the now-closed California Screamin’ roller coaster, visitors will soon walk through a steel arch into a new Incredibles neighborhood, with the main attraction being the Incredicoaster. It will have new launch and loop mechanisms in place, but the coaster structurally will be the same, except for the new theming and enclosure of the tunnels. The new ride is themed after “The Incredibles” movie, which is scheduled to have a sequel released in June. The coaster’s “scream tunnels,” built to keep down the noise of rider screams, are being expanded and riders will experience new thrills inside. The coaster’s new story will be that the Incredibles’ baby, named Jack-Jack, has escaped and is using his superpowers to roam around the coaster, while the family tries to catch him during the course of the ride. It will have a new entrance queue with a 1950s mid-century modern look, and its own story.

3. Toy Story Neighborhood: A huge icon of Jessie the yodeling cowgirl from the popular “Toy Story” film franchise will dominate the plaza of this new neighborhood. The former King Triton’s Carousel shut down March 4, and is under construction behind wooden walls. It will reopen as Jessie’s Critter Carousel, with cute animals available to ride. People can buy snacks at the Poultry Palace, designed as a huge carton of take-out chicken (replacing Don Tomas Turkey Legs), and Señor Buzz Churros, a revamped churro stand themed to the Buzz Lightyear character. Note that the popular Toy Story Mania! ride will remain in place.

4. Pixar Promenade: Visitors will pass through a new archway into the Pixar Promenade, where three of the four existing boardwalk arcade games have been reconfigured. The existing Bullseye Stallion Stampede will remain the same. Changed out will be WALL-E Space Spin, replacing Dumbo’s Bucket Brigade, La Luna Star Catcher replacing Goofy About Fishin and Heimlich Candy Corn Toss replacing Casey at the Bat. There will be new plush prizes available for winners.

5. Lamplight Lounge. This two-story family lounge will replace the former Cove Bar and Ariel’s Grotto. The top floor, where the Cove Bar was located, will offer cocktails and light meals. Downstairs will have a more substantial menu. Part of the lounge will be available for reservations. It will be themed as if it were a “place where Pixar animators come after work,” with sketches on the walls, Jeffrey Shaver-Moskowitz, who’s overseeing the project for Walt Disney Imagineering, said. (Note that the Cove Bar will reopen from March 16 to May 29.)

6. Pixar Pals will provide a place for visitors to meet their favorite Pixar characters. A bandstand will feature a new musical troupe including a 7-piece band in retro-cool costumes with a Spike Jones flair.

7. More stuff to buy: Bing Bong’s Sweet Stuff is a confectionary that will sell candy, slushies and the like, named after the popular pink creature in the movie “Inside Out.” The former Treasures in Paradise is being converted into Knick’s Knacks. The Angry Dogs stand will sell fast food on the Promenade.

9. “Inside Out”: A new neighborhood is planned around “Inside Out,” the Pixar movie where emotions come to life. Not many details have been released, but this could involve a new as-yet-unannounced attraction that may replace the Maliboomer, which closed in 2010.
